‘Operation Watchful Eye X’ executed

Thanks to an initiative involving 87 Georgia Sheriffs, 48 sex offenders were arrested and 235 warrants were issued across the state from September 2229, 2025 for violations of state registration laws.

In 2015, the first coordinated effort across the state was launched to conduct residence verifications and compliance checks of registered sex offenders during a specific time period. The coordinated initiative became known as Operation Watchful Eye.

Due to the overwhelming success of the original initiative, Georgia's Sheriffs have made this an annual operation and recently conducted Operation Watchful Eye X.
